采用多阶段分层聚类抽样的英国白人图森家庭（基于1970年人口普查块统计），纵向研究共招募了1655户。研究样本的3805个人，从而选择representatively涵盖了家庭结构，包括年龄和性别分组，图森盎格鲁白人人口。估计的流行率在总体以及特定年龄和性别类别中的估计标准误都很低，表明所有特定年龄性别亚组的选择良好且数量充足。正如预期的那样，经诊断的呼吸道疾病和其他慢性病的流行率高于全国的流行率。尽管在40岁以上的年龄-性别人群中诊断出的肺部疾病的比率要高得多，但就许多常见慢性呼吸道症状的流行率而言，本研究的结果在其他调查的范围内。造成这种明显差异的原因至今不明。
Using a multistage stratified cluster sample of Anglo-white Tucson households (based on the 1970 Census block statistics), this longitudinal study enrolled 1655 households. The study sample of 3805 individuals thus selected representatively covered the household structures, including the age and sex subgroupings, of the Tucson Anglo-white population. The estimated prevalence rates had a very low standard error of estimate both overall and in the age- and sex-specific categories, indicating a good selection and sufficient numbers in all age-sex specific subgroups. As anticipated, prevalence rates of diagnosed respiratory and other chronic diseases were higher than those found nationally. Despite much higher rates of diagnosed pulmonary diseases within the age-sex populations over the age of 40, the results of this study are within the ranges of other surveys in terms of prevalence of many common chronic respiratory symptoms. Reasons for this apparent discrepancy are so far undertermined.
